Our Dedicated Circuit Services

The National Electrical Code, which was changed in the mid-80’s, requires dedicated circuits for major electrical appliances to ensure they can operate safely. If your circuit breakers are frequently tripped when using appliances, it is a tell-tale sign that they are not connected to a dedicated circuit.

Our dedicated circuit services provide the electrical upgrade you need to ensure your investment in major appliances are protected and continue to operate efficiently and without interruption. Our trusted, local and licensed service professionals will access your current system and make recommendations based on the electrical needs of your home.

  • A dedicated circuit ensures there is a consistent flow of electricity from the external power source to the circuit. It also helps prevent circuit overloads, which can cause wires to overheat, breakers to trip, and impact the performance of your appliances. A dedicated circuit is typically used to power a major appliance like a refrigerator, washer or dryer. Here are some examples of dedicated circuits:

  • A 20-amp dedicated circuit supports smaller devices, like home entertainment systems and small kitchen appliances. Modern kitchens may have several 20-amp dedicated circuits installed to keep toaster ovens and coffee makers working simultaneously without tripping a breaker.

  • Heavy-duty appliances like refrigerators, washer, dryers, and water heaters draw a lot of power and require a 30- to 50-amp dedicated circuit to avoid interrupting the flow of electricity. Dedicated circuits also prevent the circuit from drawing too much power to the appliance, which could potentially result in a fire.

    What is the Difference Between a Dedicated and Non-Dedicated Outlet?

    A dedicated outlet supports a single device or appliance and ensures it gets enough power without interference from other devices. Non-dedicated outlets, on the other hand, can power multiple devices simultaneously.

    What are the NEC Dedicated Circuit Requirements?

    The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires dedicated circuits for specific appliances or equipment to prevent overloading. A good rule of thumb is that any fixed appliance, meaning one that is installed and not portable, should have its own dedicated circuit. Dedicated circuits must be properly installed with the correct amperage and be separate from other circuits. Therefore, any appliances and equipment running on 220-volt power will typically need a dedicated circuit.

    What Appliances Require a Dedicated Circuit?

    Most large, fixed appliances require 220-volt power to run properly. This includes ovens, microwaves, washers, dryers, water heaters, air conditioners, pool heaters, etc. if you’re not sure if your appliance requires 220-volt to run properly, contact your local Mr. Electric service professional for more information.

    Does a Dishwasher Need a Dedicated Circuit?

    Yes, a dishwasher typically requires a dedicated circuit to ensure reliable operation without causing electrical issues.

    Does a Microwave Need a Dedicated Circuit?

    Yes, microwaves should be on a dedicated circuit to handle their power requirements and avoid tripping the breaker.

    Does a Refrigerator Need its Own Circuit?

    Yes, refrigerators should be on a dedicated circuit. A dedicated circuit ensures that it will receive consistent power without overloading other circuits.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
